Ross Peterson is a retired emergency manager, having served 11 years as the Director of Emergency Management for the North Shore municipalities. During this time, he was instrumental in bringing the concept of Neighbourhood Emergency Planning to BC  from the U.S. where it proved to be an effective way to meet the challenges of emergencies and disasters before governments are able to respond. Since retiring to Nanoose Bay in 2000, Ross has delivered emergency preparedness courses for Elder College.

Presentation Summary

Ross will outline how you can make this happen and help you build confidence that you can face any difficulty knowing what to do.
